Raghav's Take

In Part 6 of the special "America-India-Pakistan" series, Raghav Bahl dives into the transformative role played by President George Bush Jr in reshaping US-India relations.

Despite the post-9/11 shift in US policy towards Pakistan, Bush Jr’s focus on strengthening ties with India remained pivotal. This episode explores how the India-US nuclear deal, military exercises, and shared strategic interests marked a historic period in global diplomacy.
